This salad is okay. The chicken is a little dry and the strawberries are a bit tart. The dressing is also a bit bland. I'm not sure I'll make this again.

This salad is the perfect summer meal! It's light and refreshing, and the flavors are amazing. I love the combination of chicken, strawberries, and goat cheese. The dressing is also delicious. I will definitely be making this salad again and again.

This salad was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the strawberries were bland. The dressing was also too sweet for my taste. I won't be making this again.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use whatever fruit I have on hand, so it's always a different salad. The poppy seed dressing is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but this salad was surprisingly good! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I'd definitely make this again, even without the strawberries.

Easy to make, refreshing, and delicious! I used grilled chicken instead of rotisserie and it was still amazing. The dressing is light and flavorful. I'll be making this salad all summer long.
